Went turkey and fixins shopping today. Got home and noticed oil burning smell. Washed and polished the new paint and noticed a puddle of oil underneath. Oil dripping out the flywheel inspection hole. Half a pint maybe. Not a big deal, but it is my daily driver. I have a running 1.8 with dual 34s in a wrecked car. Plan is to remove 1.8, remove carbs, install a freshly painted set of 1.7 tins, plenum, and runners, move my fi items, minus ecu and mps, and install in my car. I'll have three days, and Brian, my right hand. I think we can do it. Won't be able to get started till Friday. Has to be done by next Monday. Can I do it?
Btw, it's a 2056, raby 9550 cam, with 70 plus thousand. It's definitely time for a refresh. |

Up date. I've been driving the old truck while redoing the engine. Actually had all the necessary gaskets, and bearings on the shelf. Only had to purchase new Hastings rings. It was indeed the end play set incorrectly. Destroyed the trust bearing, and the #3 main was also showing some wear. Got to it just in time. Had crank and cam polished, and heads refreshed. Engine has been ready for a month, but just had no time. Customers waiting on their new kitchens. Yesterday was the day! Rolled the engine under the car 2:30 yesterday and fired it up at 4:30. Then drive it home at 8:00.
